Staffordshire is a county of potteries terraced housing, brick farmhouses and large post-war estates. That is exactly the kind of building stock a run of hardwood worktop has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
A run of hardwood worktop is a permanent part of the building, so it is worth setting out properly. We take the survey, agree the drawings, machine the parts in the workshop and fit in Staffordshire in one visit wherever the programme allows.
How we build it
Moisture matters more than most people expect. Timber is conditioned before machining, and anything going into a kitchen, utility or bathroom is specified in materials that will not swell at the bottom edge. That is why the base of a well-made unit still closes cleanly after five winters.
Finish and materials
You can have it primed for your own decorator, sprayed in any RAL or heritage colour, or left in oiled timber. Oiled finishes can be refreshed at home; sprayed finishes are harder wearing and are what we recommend for kitchens and anything at knee height.

You get a setting-out drawing and a fixed written price. Nothing is ordered until you have approved both.
Workshop
Parts are machined, assembled and finished under cover while the site carries on with other trades.
Fit & handover
We fit, scribe, adjust and touch in, then walk you through care and adjustment before we leave.
Straight answers
Hardwood Worktops in Staffordshire — common questions
Which timber for a kitchen worktop?
Oak and iroko are the usual choices. Iroko has natural oils that suit areas near water. Walnut for a darker top, though it is softer and marks more readily.
How do I look after it?
Oil it. Frequently at first, then a couple of times a year. An oiled top can be sanded and re-oiled locally, which is why marks are not permanent the way they are on a lacquered top.
Do you template on site?
Yes. Walls are not square and a worktop scribed to a stated dimension will not fit. We template after the units are in, not before.
Can you match an existing run?
If the species and the stave width match, yes — though timber darkens with age and a new section will be lighter for the first year or two.
How do I pay, and when?
A deposit at order to cover materials, a stage payment when the work leaves the workshop, and the balance on completion after you have inspected the fit. Everything is written into the quotation before you commit.
